Purchase Reports

Single-User Access ($490): Report is for the sole use of one person, such as for forecasting or product planning. Redistribution or sharing of the reports is prohibited, even internally within the purchasing organization or department. Citation of quotes or data, such as on a web site, in a press release, or for enterprise use, requires approval from Intersect360 Research.

Enterprise-Wide Usage ($2,400): Report can be shared within the purchasing organization—for example, across product, strategy, sales, or forecasting teams. This does not extend to partner organizations, such as suppliers or resellers, but does include contractors working for the purchasing organization. Public citation of quotes or data, such as on a web site or in a press release, requires approval from Intersect360 Research. Advisory service clients are granted enterprise-wide usage rights for all reports in the subscribed service (HPC Advisory Service or Hyperscale Advisory Service), but not reprint rights unless purchased separately.

Reprints ($4,800 per report): Full redistribution rights for some or all of a report, such as for PR purposes, including email, print, web, or other distribution. The reports may not be edited in any way except as approved by Intersect360 Research (such as to excerpt a section or to highlight particular text). An organization must have enterprise usage of a report—either through individual report purchase or advisory service access—to purchase reprints. Contact Intersect360 Research to purchase.

This Intersect360 Research report presents the cloud segment of the 2017 total market model and five-year forecast for the overall High Performance Computing
(HPC) market, segmented into cloud segments: raw cycles, storage, application hosting (SaaS), infrastructure hosting (IaaS, PaaS), and other. The forecast
horizon is from 2018 through 2022, with compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) using 2017 as a base.

Intersect360 Research defines HPC as the use of servers, clusters, and supercomputers—plus associated software, tools, components, storage, and services—for
scientific, engineering, or analytical tasks that are particularly intensive in computation, memory usage, or data management. Intersect360 Research
reports available in this series include the following segmentations:

Perhaps the most noteworthy trend from 2017 was that public cloud consumption for HPC had a breakout year, with 44.3% growth. This sudden burst was
driven by a combination of factors, including: increasing facilities costs for hosting HPC, maturation of application licensing models, increased availability
of high-performance cloud resources, and a spike in requirements for machine learning applications.

There were dramatic differences in the growth rates between the various cloud segments. While revenue for raw cycles grew only 5.6% from 2016 to 2017,
revenue for application hosting (SaaS) more than doubled, with 125% growth year-over-year. The application hosting segment therefore leapfrogged from
the fourth-largest cloud subcategory to the largest in a single year, now claiming 27.0% of the revenue in the HPC cloud segment. The HPC cloud segment
will continue to be the highest-growth product category over the forecast period.
